I, sir, she is my niece, my brother's daughter here, and my nephews sister. Do you know her, sir? O, God sir, signor DELIRO, her husband, is my merchant. I, I have seen this gentleman there, often. I cry you mercy, sir: let me crave your name, pray you. FUNGOSO, sir. Good signor FUNGOSO, I shall request to know you better, sir. I am her brother, sir. In fair time, sir. Come, gentlemen, I will be your conduct. Nay, pray you, sir; we shall meet at signor DELIRO often. You shall ha' me at the Herald's office, sir, for some week or so, at my first coming up. Come, CARLO. Methinks, CORDATUS, he dwelled somewhat too long on this Scene; it hung i' the hand. I see not where he could have insisted less, and t' have made the humours perspicuous enough. True, as his subject lies: but he might have altered the shape of his argument, and explicated 'em better in single Scenes. That had been single indeed: why? be they not the same persons in this, as they would have been in those? and is it not an object of more state, to behold the Scene full, and relieved with variety of speakers to the end, then to see a vast empty stage, and the actors come in (one by one) as if they were dropped down with a feather, into the eye of the spectators? Nay, you are better traded with these things than I, and therefore I'll subscribe to your judgement; marry, you shall give me leave to make objections. O, what else? it's the special intent of the author, you should do so: for thereby others (that are present) may as well be satisfied, who happily would object the same you do. So, sir: but when appears MACILENTE again? Marry, he stays but till our silence give him leave: here he comes, and with him signor DELIRO, a merchant, at whose house he is come to sojourn: Make your own observation now, only transfer your thoughts to the city, with the Scene; where, suppose they speak. I'll tell you by and by, sir. Welcome (good MACILENTE) to my house, To sojourn even for ever: if my best In cares, and every sort of good entreaty May move you stay with me. I thank you, sir: And yet the muffled fates (had it pleased them) Might have supplied me, from their own full store, Without this word (I thank you) to a fool. I see no reason, why that dog (called Chance) Should fawn upon this fellow, more than me: I am a man, and I have limbs, flesh, blood, Bones, sinews, and a soul, as well as he: My parts are every way as good as his, If I said better? why, I did not lie. Natheless, his wealth (but nodding on my wants) Must make me bow, and cry: (I thank you, sir.) Dispatch, take heed your mistress see you not.

You shall ha' me at the Heralds office, sir, for some weeke or so, at my first comming vp. Come, CARLO. Methinkes, CORDATVS, he dwelt somewhat too long on this Scene; it hung i' the hand. I see not where he could haue insisted lesse, and t' haue made the humours perspicuous enough. True, as his subiect lies: but hee might haue altered the shape of his argument, and explicated 'hem better in single Scenes. That had beene single indeed: why? be they not the same persons in this, as they would haue beene in those? and is it not an obiect of more state, to behold the Scene full, and relieu'd with varietie of speakers to the end, then to see a vast emptie stage, and the actors come in (one by one) as if they were dropt downe with a feather, into the eye of the spectators? Nay, you are better traded with these things then I, and therefore I'le subscribe to your iudgement; mary, you shall giue mee leaue to make obiections. O, what else? it's the speciall intent of the author, you should doe so: for thereby others (that are present) may as well be satisfied, who happily would obiect the same you doe. So, sir: but when appeares MACILENTE againe? Mary, hee staies but till our silence giue him leaue: here hee comes, and with him signior DELIRO, a marchant, at whose house hee is come to sojourne: Make your owne obseruation now, onely transferre your thoughts to the city, with the Scene; where, suppose they speake. I'Le tell you by and by, sir. Welcome (good MACILENTE) to my house, To sojourne euen for euer: if my best In cares, and euery sort of good intreaty May moue you stay with me. I thanke you, sir: And yet the muffled fates (had it pleas'd them) Might haue suppli'd me, from their owne full store, Without this word (I thanke you) to a foole. I see no reason, why that dog (call'd Chaunce) Should fawne vpon this fellow, more then me: I am a man, and I haue limmes, flesh, bloud, Bones, sinewes, and a soule, as well as he: My parts are euery way as good as his, If I said better? why, I did not lie. Nath'lesse, his wealth (but nodding on my wants) Must make me bow, and crie: (I thanke you, sir.) Dispatch, take heed your mistris see you not.
